Who Says You Have To Get Out Of Your
Comfort Zone? I love my comfort zone. To me, that’s where the real magic happens. In my comfort zone, I have my family, friends, work, music, books, movies, bike, gym, park; you name it. Everything I love. And from that place of safety, I’m more open to trying new things and take risks. I’ve never believed the idea of that stupid little drawing. You know what I’m talking about, right? • “Your comfort zone.” A little circle. • “Where the magic happens.” A big circle that stands for the promise of success. As if “magic” only happens when you step outside your comfort zone; that’s ridiculous. And while we’re at it; why pretend as if your comfort zone is bad? It’s this pathetic little circle displayed against the bigger “magical” circle. Sure, I’m all about pushing yourself, trying new things, moving forward, growing, etc. But in contrast to many popular self-help people, I don’t believe the comfort zone is a bad thing. Call me a pessimist. Call me stoic. But more than anything, I’m merely a practical person. And practically speaking, you don’t even want to make a huge leap outside your comfort zone. In fact, I believe in the slow road to “magic.” Where’s The Magic People Talk About? I’ve found that I do my best work when I don’t worry about money, finding new friends, getting familiar with a new environment, and anything else that is related to always moving around. But don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying I prefer to stay put. Stagnation is a death sentence for me. I believe that there are different phases of life. Sometimes, you take it easy, work on your skills, your character — you invest in yourself. And sometimes, you just go out there and take a chance. Life’s too short to be a wimp. But those two things are interconnected. If you don’t work on yourself, and if you lack self-confidence, you will never take a risk. For years I wanted to do what I’m doing now. But instead of jumping out of my comfort zone (which was scary), I slowly took on new and bigger challenges. First, I got two degrees in business. Then, I started a business together with my father. That was in 2010. And after two years of working on that business for six or seven days a week, I started doing freelance marketing work. Again, after a few years of freelancing and starting (and failing) other businesses on my own, I took a job at a research advisory firm because I wanted to know how it is to work for a major corporation. And after doing that for a year and a half, I finally decided to write and talk about productivity, career, and entrepreneurship on the internet. By then, I‘d been doing the things I write about for more than 10 years. And yet, I don’t have all the answers—I just share the stuff I’ve learned. So it would be ridiculous if I would join people who scream: “If you want to be successful, all you have to do is step outside your comfort zone. NOW!” Well, have you ever stepped outside your comfort zone? Even just a little bit counts. And what did you find? A leprechaun with a bag of money? Not going to happen. That comfort zone shit is just a story. It might motivate some people, but you don’t have to believe it if you don’t want to. It’s just like when people claim you have to wake up early if you want to be successful. Says who? I believe this: If you step outside your comfort zone, there’s only more work waiting for you. It’s not fancy at all. There’s no magic involved. Just blood, sweat, and tears. Download 1.67 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
